Congrats, you have borderline download speed and good upload speed. That says almost nothing relevant, except that your download speed isn't as good as you think. I have about four times your download speed, and I'm in a country that's well-known for having TERRIBLE internet.
More importantly, though, do you know what your ping is like? Because that makes FAR more of a difference. Packet loss is kind of important as well. Check THOSE and see how they compare. |

Again, WHAT'S YOUR PING LIKE?
Because as I already explained, PING matters a LOT more than your SPEED ever will.
If you have ping of 100 to local servers, that's going to be a problem.
Would also help to know your system's NAT settings. Especially if you play a lot of games which are player-hosted rather than running through servers. Player-hosted games can't connect you to people with NAT incompatibilities, servers can, and when they do, it sometimes causes the appearance of severe lag-spikes around those players. |

Try reading the WHOLE post next time. Still might be a NAT issue. Might be worth looking into that as well.
And yes, there are some issues with the game. I'm not going to say the problems you're having ARE at your end. I'm just saying you should consider the possibility PROPERLY before demanding something be done about a problem that MIGHT be something you can fix for yourself.
A lot of games don't have NAT issues like this because they're player-hosted instead of running on servers, and don't even let you connect to players with NAT incompatibility. Some games don't have NAT issues like this because their netcode works differently. I don't even know for sure this is a NAT issue, but from the experiences I've had, it could very easily be the case, and changing your NAT might fix the problem. If it does, it'll probably also speed up matchmaking in some of the other games you play. |
